Simple Indicator Help

[Aithin]

I sat down this morning to try and write up a very simple indicator ... but my brain does not seem to be working correctly :)

I'm looking for an indicator that will plot a bar in a new panel. All I'm after is a bar that counts up to the current Range Bar setting. For example ...

I'm using 15 range bars on a chart. I'm looking for something that will plot the current bars high - the current bars low. I need this to happen while the bar is forming. This way I can easily see when a new bar is about to start. (because the bar plotted will grow to 15)

If anyone can help me with this it would be great!

Thanks

Aithin, before delving into developing a custom study for this task: have you tried the NT inbuild RangeCounter indicator already?

Wow, My brain is REALLY not working this morning LoL

Thank you very much.

I'm going to look into the code and see if I can figure out how to get an alert in there, and also how to make it bigger.

So, I'll probably be back with those two questions


Thanks Again

Can anyone help me at add alert to the RangeCounter Indicator? I would like an alert when the Range Remaining is less than or equal to 3.

Also, if I could make the text larger that would be great.

Thanks

Aithin, we could unfortunately not modify this for you, but you would look to work the call to Alert() in :

rangeCount is the current seen range count you would like to compare to your threshold to.

The font is set in the variables section, you can change the type and size here.

Since the indicator is locked I am unable to save changes I make to it. However, when I save it has something else I get namespace errors. I'm assuming since there are now two indicators with the same name. How do I get around this?

Thanks
